Chapter 155: Never Again
In fact, this matter was a misunderstanding, Zhang Guifei had the idea of giving her niece to Shen Weilan as early as when she was covering Emperor Yongle to summon Xi Fuwei.
The concubine didn't know about Shen Stealing Lan and Xi Fuwei, but she didn't deliberately dig into the wall.
And because the Shen family is not very satisfied with Xi Fuwei's door, Miss Shen San said earlier when she persuaded Shen Zhang to accept Xi Fuwei into the door, Xi Fuwei can only leave the cabinet when she is full of filial piety, who knows if Shen Steallan's love for her can survive these three or two years?
Miss Shen San said this, mainly because she had privately accepted the benefits of her brother, and promised to try her best to mediate for Xi Fuwei in front of Shen Zhang's family, so that Shen Zhang's family could relax.
But Shen Zhang didn't know what to do, but he took this to heart.
Calculating the time, Xi Fuwei has been returning to her hometown for a few days, according to the information that Shen Zhang's grasp, this prospective daughter-in-law has basically not met her son much during this time, let alone a serious reunion.
It was Shen Steallan's subordinates, who had accompanied Xi Fuwei to Ying Tianfu earlier, and Yu Kedi, who ran diligently.
This Yu Kedi is a man who is the same age as Xi Fuwei, and seems to have a good appearance, the focus is on a man who has not yet married a wife or even a marriage...... Shen Zhang's family couldn't help but have a tentative heart, and did not immediately refuse Zhang Guifei's side, but sent someone to Jining to talk to Shen Stealing Lan in addition to being false and wronged.
Of course, the people of Shen Zhang's family will not directly tell Shen Weilan that your mother thinks that you and Xi Fuwei are separated these days, maybe the relationship has faded, it is better to consider the niece of the concubine, but to say that Zhang Guifei's deceased father has contributed to the battle of Jingjing, there are many brothers and nephews in the family, the momentum is prosperous, and the concubine is also decent in the palace, according to the health and well-being of Emperor Yongle, whether it is the Shen family or the East Palace, it is very important for the Shen family and the East Palace, so this family affair is very important to the Shen family and the East Palace.
I thought that with the overall situation as the priority, Shen Steal Lan would at least hesitate, so that Shen Zhang was somewhat confident in dismantling the mandarin ducks.
Unexpectedly, Shen Weilan didn't even think about it when he heard this, so he pulled the Shen family's family motto back: The Shen family has today, relying on the excellence of its own children, not nepotism!
"According to the news from Ying Tianfu, Madame was very angry after receiving the reply, and said that if the adult was in front of her, she would have to use the family law!" Yu Kedi told Xi Fuwei with a smile, "There are some rumors in the Shen Mansion that you are powerful. ”
Xi Fuwei said inexplicably: "What am I so good at? ”
"Nature is a means of training adults." Yu Kedi smiled evilly and said, "Now that the Shen Mansion has recognized you as the most outstanding vixen they have ever seen, how long have you known adults?" I will be fascinated by the previous friendship, brotherhood, filial piety, elders, especially respect for the lady, and protect you wholeheartedly! ”
"That's." Xi Fuwei said with a smile, "I haven't met with Youqing at all during this time, and I don't even know about this matter if you don't tell me...... And in their minds, is Youqing the kind of person who will be bewitched by beauty? ”
Yu Kedi said: "To be reasonable, if you don't have this moon and flower, will the adults want to marry you?" ”
Without waiting for Xi Fuwei to answer, he said again, "If my lord weren't young and talented, would you agree to marry him after a little hesitation?" Everyone has a love for beauty, whether you are an adult or an adult, in fact, it is not exempt from vulgarity. ”
Xi Fuwei said: "Crooked! Is it a vixen that looks good? ”
"It's up to the person who speaks." Yu Kedi said, "Anyone who looks better than the person who speaks can be a vixen." ”
"You speak more and more now." Xi Fuwei sighed, "I think why do you still have to go in the wind and rain to be a brocade guard?" It's better to just go home and study and take the exam. ”
Yu Kedi said: "I shouldn't be on a mission, how can I live without income at home?" Why don't you lend me three or five thousand taels of silver first, and pay you back twice when I get out of school? ”
"Think beautifully!" Xi Fuwei sneered, "You just said that it was given to you!" ”
"You're embarrassed!" Yu Kedi looked at her with disdain, "Didn't you say that I should go home to study and take the imperial examination?" I obviously thought I couldn't pass the test at all, so I painted this big cake, and I was embarrassed to say that I was embarrassed! ”
The two talked for a while, and Yu Kedi asked Xi Fuwei's plans for the New Year, "Do you want to stay here, or go to Jining?" ”
"Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day will definitely be here." Xi Fuwei said, "After all, Jiao'er is too young, and I have to help him watch the sacrifice." ”
She decided to go to Jining on the second day of the Lunar New Year, "First, this is the day when a woman returns to Ningning, and it is also appropriate for me to go to see my father-in-law; Second, although our Xi family has no relatives here, the villagers may not have someone to come and walk around in the New Year. I'm impatient to deal with those people, so I'd better try to hide. ”
Yu Kedi said: "Cheng, I'll go back and tell the adults and Song Shangshu to make some preparations." ”
He also said, "You also went to Jining with Xi Jiao, right?" ”
Seeing Xi Fuwei nodding, she suggested that she put Xi Jiao in her own house at that time, "You haven't met with adults and Song Shangshu for a few days, you must have a lot to say." Xi Jiao is not a particularly well-behaved and sensible child, and he is only afraid of inconvenience when he takes it with him. Why don't you send me home and be a companion with my mother, and you will save trouble. ”
"I'm afraid I'll disturb my aunt too much." Xi Fuwei said, "You also said that he is not particularly well-behaved and sensible. ”
Yu Kedi said bluntly: "It's okay, I will beat him if he is disobedient, anyway, I am used to beating him." ”
"......" Xi Fuwei was speechless for a while, "Okay, you have mercy on your subordinates, don't really beat him up, in the end, my family is such a male heir." ”
On this day, after Yu Kedi left, Xi Fuwei watched Xi Jiao take care of housework, and waited for the New Year.
It's just that I didn't expect that a few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the gate of Xi Mansion.
"Didn't you stay in Ying Tianfu?" Xi Fuwei was a little suspicious at the beginning when she received the advice from her subordinates, saying that there was a Ouyang Gongzi who asked to see her, because at the beginning of the year, Ouyang Yuanshui and Gu Gonggong entered Yingtianfu one after another, and then it seemed that his elder stayed in Yingtianfu to concentrate on studying.
I haven't seen each other for a year, and I haven't even communicated with each other, so Xi Fuwei almost forgot about this person.
Hearing the news, he greeted the person who came in from the hanging flower door, and saw that the person introduced by the housekeeper looked like his eyebrows, and it was Ouyang Yuanshui, who was surprised and surprised, "Why did you suddenly come here?" ”
Ouyang Yuanshui's face was a little haggard, and he didn't know if it was because he had encountered something, or if it was simply due to being tired from the road.
He didn't say anything at the Hanging Flower Gate, but raised his chin into the room, and when he reached the hall, he untied his sable fur, revealing a half-worn blue-bottomed cormorant brocade robe. Xi Fuwei saw him wear this robe when he was in Zou Mansion before, and at this moment, he glanced at it casually, and noticed that the sleeves were much wider, which showed that it was reduced.
After beckoning Yahan to serve tea, he took a sip and asked him, "Is the road hard?" How did you lose so much weight? ”
"You dare to feel sorry for me." When Ouyang Yuanshui heard this, there was a slight smile in his eyes, but his tone was habitually frivolous, and said, "I thought you wouldn't even let me in today." ”
Xi Fuwei said: "Hey, what have you done to be sorry for me?" Don't even dare to enter the door? ”
"......" Ouyang Yuanshui choked slightly, then shook his head and smiled, "You still refuse to suffer as always." ”
Xi Fuwei said casually: "It's not either, I don't mind suffering, the key is to see who takes advantage." ”
This sentence is much more ruthless than the sentence just now, at most it was ridicule just now, this sentence sounded like a stab in his heart in Ouyang Yuanshui, and his whole face changed: "Then who do you want to be taken advantage of?" ”
"It's not you anyway." Xi Fuwei waved her hand, asked the steward to take the subordinates out, turned to him and said, "Don't talk about those gossips, I just ask you, you said before that you lived in Yingtianfu for a long time and prepared for the entrance examination, why did you come here again now?" But what else has happened on the side of Kaihe? Could it be that those two are not dead yet? ”
She thought in her heart that the emperor's eldest grandson had just been canonized as the emperor's grandson, and it stands to reason that no matter how unwilling King Han and King Zhao were, in the face of Emperor Yongle's beating and Ming Huanghuang's statement, they should also weigh a little.
However, these two princes have always been very rebellious, and it is difficult to say whether they will rise to the occasion.
What's more, they are the biological sons of Emperor Yongle and the brothers-in-law of the crown prince, even if Emperor Yongle chooses the prince's father and son, it is impossible to be completely ruthless to them.
Therefore, in order to prevent the emperor's eldest grandson from being registered as the grandson, the momentum of the East Palace has soared, and they have completely eliminated the path of coveting the position of the prince, and it is reasonable to do something at this time?
It's a pity that it's hard to get on the right track...... I don't know if there will be another turmoil?
However, Xi Fuwei's heart was turbulent for a long time, Ouyang Yuanshui just stared at her, and after a while, he said angrily: "Something happened...... You're not a man, what are you doing thinking about those temple things all day long!? Can't I just come and see you? ”
Xi Fuwei was surprised: "You didn't come here on the holy order, don't you want to be good?" ”
Ouyang Yuanshui's face suddenly darkened!
"I'm not saying you're no match for young people." Seeing this, Xi Fuwei hurriedly explained...... It's just that this explanation is better than not explaining, Ouyang Yuanshui almost flipped the table: "I came from afar, you don't have a decent condolence, but you are resolute when you tie up a knife, right?!" ”
Xi Fuwei sighed: "Just because you came from afar, or did you come specifically to see me, I don't stab you with a knife and cut off your thoughts, do you still speak softly so that you can't forget me more and more?" ”
Ouyang Yuanshui panicked in his heart, and sneered: "You are still serious about casually speaking?" I was ordered by my elders to go back to my hometown to pack up some things, and then I moved away completely...... It's just close, just come and take a turn, and by the way, it's just a little autumn breeze! You are not a stunning city, even if you did have some admiration for your face when you were in Jining earlier, now you went to Yingtianfu and saw those peach and willow green, is it embarrassing to continue to love you? ”
"It's almost the New Year, and there are waves of people who fight the autumn wind." Xi Fuwei smiled without changing her face, "I'll just guard against you, I don't want you to say it directly, do I give it now?" ”
She actually followed her words and gave the steps, I don't know if she was abused too much by her before, Ouyang Yuanshui was actually a little moved.
Thinking about it, I feel resentful, this person is so smart, could he not have noticed his thoughts in time?
I'm afraid it may not be.
But she never showed it, as if the two were just talking.
Ouyang Yuanshui couldn't help but wonder, did Xi Fuwei take a fancy to Shen Steallan's person, or did she take a fancy to Shen Steallan's family status?
Where did you lose?
He hopes for the latter, but he doesn't want to be the latter, and the contradiction in his mind can't even be sorted out by himself.
After a while, the tea was cold, and Ouyang Yuanshui picked up the tea bowl and slowly took a sip.
Xi Fuwei reminded him: "It's cold, I'll ask the maid to come in and change it for you." ”
"Give me a hairpin that you wear." Ouyang Yuanshui ignored this, and drank the already cold tea little by little, and there was no trickle left, only to feel that his heart was also a little cold.
This is the ending that can be predicted in Ying Tianfu, and he may have been telling himself all the way that this trip will not have any other results except heartache, but he will not have the frightened gaffe before entering the door, he only listened to his voice and said calmly, "We will probably never meet again in the future, just take it as a thought." ”
